Software Engineer 5 - iOS

About the role

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

As part of the Member Engineering organization, our teams lead the way in shaping discovery and viewing experiences across mobile, TV, and Live. In essence, we help members find stories they'll love—and ensure they enjoy watching them, too.

We are seeking Senior Software Engineers to drive innovation and deliver delightful experiences to Netflix members on the iOS app. Our work spans rapid development of highly visible product experiences, long-term maintenance to enable future innovations, and building robust, scalable solutions that power the Netflix experience.

Within Member Engineering, we have multiple opportunities for impact. Teams that are actively hiring include:

- Mobile Core

The DVX Mobile Core team is responsible for developing and advancing the architecture of our mobile app. We aim to leverage the systems and infrastructure that is broadly available at Netflix and figure out the best way to adopt and apply them. The Core team works with a wide range of engineering groups within the company to enable easier and more efficient patterns and canvases to be deployed to our members. Some of these changes are purely engineering-based, for example to improve key user metrics, while others serve to adopt cleaner development patterns for downstream product engineering.

- Member Experience Client Foundations Team

The Member Experience Client Foundations team builds the server-driven UI (SDUI) architecture and tooling that powers the member experience across Netflix's iOS, Android, and TV apps. We build the schema, rendering, and data-access layers that let product engineers ship flexible, interactive features across Discovery, Playback, and Ads while championing consistency and performance across every client platform.

- Ads Team

This team is responsible for delivering and evolving the platform for innovative, customizable ad experiences. They build frameworks for interactive formats and server-side ad insertion with seamless, targeted delivery. You’ll work with cross-functional partners to ensure ads are integrated in a performant and engaging way for our members.
